So, better believe ("use my brain") than test.
Enjoy your savings.

Hi Bob,
That's the one, and from what you have said they are still using it. They are more than a little proud of this arrangement. I have to admit that it makes some sense, but I am not really sure how it performs. I've never looked at it from a perspective of distortion or quality.
I did hear that the newer units no longer have that quirky bias problem. Nice to hear.

My power amp is Bryston 5B ST (3 channels).
It sounds good, though I didn't compare it to many other Hi-End ones (for budget limitations).

Hi Joshua,
Those are supposed to be much, much better than what I'm talking about. Enjoy it, it's easy enough to get worse product.

Room acoustics improvement can't help if you don't have records like this one:

Joshua, if you ever come to visit me, it might be fun to test line cords.
I have an almost perfect set-up with a STAX Lambda Pro headphone system with vacuum tube direct drive. It is VERY sensitive to line cords, AND even Bybees. I have one of Bob Crump's super silver line cords on the unit now, that might make a good reference.
I listen first, also, before I condemn.

You can do a lot worse for a lot more money than the Ampzilla. Properly cleaned up it sounds like music to me; add FETs for the differentials and, well you'd just have to build one and listen to it.

I mean it. It is hard to reproduce acoustic of a real temple with both organ and violin playing. First of all, it is hard to record properly so instruments and reverberation recorded sounding from a stereo system will create an imagination of presence in the environment. Second, instruments themselves are very rich. Third, a duet of musicians is superb. And they selected exceptional material of best composers to play and record. As the result, I have one disk to test my reproduction systems I design including amps, speakers, room acoustic, enjoying the music at the same time. I wish I would have another one such a CD...

Let me be honest: you are asking to criticize. 😉

I feel sorry for you John.
John,
Thank you. Your offers are tempting me to come over. Alas, for next few months I have to undergo some medical treatments.

LP or CD?
I was wondering if the CD was 16/44.1, since that is one of the great inconsistencies of the audiophile community. Even the most diehard subjectivists have raved about at least one ordinary CD but when asked they give you lines like, "if you can stand them you should find another hobby".
